The Montana Memory Project (MMP) is promoting ways for the public to engage with our free, online, archival content. This initiative can be viewed on our new MMP Engagement Activities page which will be updated regularly.
These activities can be done on a phone, tablet, personal computer. Families and groups can even share a device screen to a compatible television screen so the whole room can enjoy.

Women's suffrage has a long history in Montana.
Read the pamphlets from the Montana Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. Would you agree?
The Montana Woman Suffrage Association created a constitution but there isn't much information about the group. The Political Equality Club of Missoula prepared a report on woman suffrage status in1912. By 1914 there was a proposed amendment to the Montana constitution (notice on the What To Do list is a mention of public libraries!).
Even more information is available from the Montana Historical Society in the Suffrage section.
